2940840 - You Cannot Add Supplier Bank Data to a Supplier

Symptom

You are trying to add supplier bank data to a supplier, but the Add Row button is missing.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the Supplier Base work center.
  2. Open the Suppliers view.
  3. Search for the relevant supplier.
  4. Click Edit, then General.
  5. Navigate to the Financial Data facet.
  6. Access the Bank Data tab.
  7. Here, you will see that the Add Row button is grayed out and unclickable.

Cause

Since system version 2005, there is a new feature that allows administrators to restrict the maintenance of supplier bank details.

The business option "Do you want to restrict which user can edit the bank details of suppliers?" is scoped in the Business Configuration and your used has not been granted access to the work center view Supplier Bank Details Authorization.

Resolution

To solve the issue, you can either remove the scoping option from the active scope or give the user access to the work center view Supplier Bank Details Authorization.

To remove the business option from scope:

  1. Go to the Business Configuration work center.
  2. Open the Implementation Projects view.
  3. Select your project and click Edit Project Scope.
  4. Navigate to the Questions section.
  5. Expand and select the scoping element General Business Data > Business Partners > Handling of Business Partners.
  6. Find the question 'Do you want to restrict which user can edit the bank details of suppliers?" and de-select it.
  7. Finish the scoping to activate the changes (if it's a change project, you need to merge the project).

To give the user access to the Supplier Bank Details Authorization work center view:

  1. Go to Application and User Management work center.
  2. Open the Business Users view
  3. Find the relevant business user and click Edit.
  4. In the Work Center and View Assignment facet, expand the Supplier Base work center and select the view Supplier Bank Details Authorization (if the user has a business role assigned, this must be done at business role level).
  5. Click Save or Save and Close.
